How to fetch remote branch properly?

I had to delete my git branch and now need to fetch that remote branch.

I did the following steps as I've seen someone's post here.

git clone <repository-address>
git fetch origin
git checkout -b <branch> origin/branch

But I am not sure if it worked as expected. Here's my output for git branch -a

* my-branch (GREEN)
  master (GREEN)
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master (RED)
  remotes/origin/my-branch (RED)

If anyone help me understand whether my-branch will be matched with the remote one or not. If not, I'd appreciate it if you could explain this. Thanks!

Probably. But it's impossible to be certain from the info you have given. To find out, say

git branch --all -vv

If the listing for my-branch also mentions origin/my-branch, you're all set. If it doesn't, just set the upstream yourself.
